Truly, I do enjoy movies on the Touch and iPhone.
Fact is holding a movie in your hands can be very
pleasant and the eyes apparently fool the brain
into thinking life is good.

I have a huge TV in living room meant for family
visits. I don't watch TV there, but I do watch TV
on laptops and handhelds.
